Well Flybe competed (successfully?) for years against Easyjet on MAN, GLA and BHX to Belfast. Sure Easy have recently announced MAN-ABZ but only single daily so an operator could compete against Easyjet on frequency if they had low enough trip costs.
Sending a 180 seat 320 to ABZ once a day is not a cheap exercise and not everyone will be prepared or willing to sacrifice convenience of travelling when they want to (rather than when Easyjet want them too) for price. I'd say there would be room for both Easy and Loganair when you start to compare monthly lease costs of the equipment used.
